Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Major Campbell was informed of the designs of Pontiac by an old Indian woman whose name was Catherine. In crossing the river to the (now) American side, although the canoes were full of Indians, only two, or at most three, were seen, the others all having laid down and covered themselves, lest the commandant, seeing their numbers, might suspect their intentions.
Respecting the cannon, Mrs. Meloche heard that day, a Mr. St. Amant came to her house and told her the British and Indians were going to do something, for many pieces of cannon were loaded and placed before the gate, the matches already lighted, and the Indians in considerable numbers around the fort.
